Heartfelt Creations Wednesday - Peacock Garden

Welcome to another Heartfelt Creations Wednesday! It is also April Fool's Day but there are no tricks here! Just pretty flowers to welcome spring!

Next week we start with a new collection, so be ready for that! It is one that is right up my alley! But for today, I am sharing Peacock Paisley again! I cannot get enough of the purple, blue, and green in this collection! Plus, I love to make flowers! Here is the tutorial for this beauty!

Create a 7" x 5" card by trimming black cardstock to 7" x 10" and scoring at 5" on the long side. Trim chevron print Peacock Paisley paper to 6 7/8" x 4 7/8" and attach to the card front. Trim paisley print Peacock Paisley paper to 6" x 4" and mat with black cardstock cut to 6 1/8" x 4 1/8". Attach the paisley panel to the center of the card front with foam adhesive.

Use the Spellbinders Fleur de Elegance die template and cut out the largest shape from white cardstock. While the cardstock is still in the die, sponge the paper with Iris ink. Attach the die cut shape to the center of the paisley panel with foam adhesive. Use an oval die template to trim a peacock image from Peacock Paisley paper. Attach the image to the center of the card with foam adhesive.

Stamp the flowers from the Delightful Daisies Cling Stamp Set onto white cardstock with black ink. Color the flowers with Daffodil and Papaya Cream ink. Use the Delightful Daisy Die to cut out the flowers. Sponge the tips of the flowers with Iris ink. Shape them and set aside. 

Stamp the flowers from the Botanical Rose Cling Stamp Set onto white cardstock with black ink. Color the flowers with Pool ink. Use the Botanical Wings Die to cut out the flowers. Sponge the tips of the flowers with Iris ink. Shape them and set aside. 

Stamp the flowers from the Arianna Blooms Cling Stamp Set onto white cardstock with black ink. Color the flowers with Iris ink. Use the Arianna Blooms Die to cut out the flowers. Shape them and set aside. 

Stamp the three smallest leaf images from the Open Leaf Cling Stamp Set onto white cardstock with black ink. Color the flowers with Turtle ink. Use the Classic Leaf Die to cut out the leaves. Shape them and set aside.

Create a flower cluster at the lower half of the peacock image, as shown. Create one large and three small yellow blooms, one large and one small purple bloom, and one large and one small aqua bloom. Arrange the flowers as shown on the sample. Trim the leaves apart with scissors and tuck them behind the flowers. 

Add a pearl to the small aqua bloom. Use the Arianna Blooms Die to cut one stamen from black cardstock. Glue the stamen to the large purple bloom. Use Glossy Accents to add purple micro beads to the center of the large purple flower. Add gold micro beads to the center of three yellow flowers. For the remaining flowers, shape the center petals into buds. Use the Luggage and Tags Die to trim out the Birthday Wishes sentiment from the Peacock Paisley paper. Glue the sentiment to the left edge of the flower cluster.

To decorate the inside of the card, trim white cardstock to 6 7/8" x 4 7/8". Attach the white panel to the inside of the card. Trim a strip of chevron print Peacock Paisley to 1 1/4" x 4 7/8" and attach the strip to the bottom of the white panel. Trim the a piece of paisley print Peacock Paisley paper to 7/8" x 2 7/8" and mat with black cardstock cut to 1" x 3". Attach the paisley panel to the left side of the chevron strip. Use the Luggage and Tags Die to trim out the Have a Beautiful Day sentiment from the Peacock Paisley paper and attach the sentiment to the top center of the white panel.
